(help me out with my master's thesis), calling out all Spotify enthusiasts!

[bleunuit]

Hi fellow Spotifiers!

I'm currently pursuing my master's degree in web communication and I'm writing my thesis on music streaming and Spotify! I listen to music A LOT and I've been using Spotify for a few years now (which is the best streaming service on the market in my opinion, or at least the most complete). I feel like we're entering a whole new era and I'm just really interested in every aspect of this digital revolution. I'm an avid playlists curator and I love to discover new talents through Spotify. Playlists curation is actually one of the main points I'd like to address. 

I need to do a few interviews and possibly a survey and I was hoping that some you would be willing to answer those. I'd like to study streamers' habits and how this new consumption differs from previous listening modes. Basically I just want to discuss your listening experience, your habits and your opinion on streaming with you.

If you're interested let me know! You can answer below or send me a DM @fdd8e4 (might be more convenient to have a chat in private).

Here's a list of the different "themes" I'm going to write about (if you think it lacks something, don't hesitate to tell me!)

- history of song shuffling, music "acquisition" on the web and music streaming

- streaming's preponderant role in the rebirth of the record industry (a solution to piracy)

- streaming as a service that target "millenials"

- the sense of ownership (digital vs physical formats, MP3s vs streaming)

- benefits (streaming data can be very useful for promotion and distribution) or disadvantages (debate over royalties) for artists 

- musical discovery as an inherent need of musical experience and how playlists are reshaping this

- streaming services as tastemakers

- event-based and personnalized playlists = a life soundtrack

PS: I'm sorry if I posted this on the wrong page! I just don't get a lot of feedback on Twitter and I thought I could get more on here. Anyway thanks for reading!
